Here's To Change

Show Notes

Here’s to more energy, better sleep, positivity, and health - here’s to a mindful drinking movement - here’s to change!

Change really is possible - we just have to learn how to make it happen. Joining us in this episode is Dr. Brian Pennie

Dr. Brian is a writer, corporate speaker, mental health advocate and lecturer in Trinity College and University College Dublin. He is the author of the best selling book Bonus Time and most recently brought us the heralded documentary series 'Hooked' on the science of addiction from drugs to gambling and smartphones.

Something he knows a lot about from personal experience - as Brian turned his life around after a 15 year heroin addiction.

Here he explains why we are creatures of habit, why we chase pleasure and push away pain and how real change happens when we learn to live not by our habits but show up protecting our values and what matters to us most.
